PLAYER OF NOVEMBER: BRUNO GAMA

07 Dec 2012Hard month for Deportivo; the team was eliminated from Copa Del Rey and only added one point in liga. The ratings and the stats were poor; still, winger Bruno Gama was chosen as the best player in the period.

November was a busy month for Deportivo with six games disputed in total, four in La Liga and two in the Copa Del Rey. Thanks to his two Man-of-the-Match awards (MOM) in consecutive games against RCD Mallorca (Liga) and Real Zaragoza, Bruno Gama is the rcdlc.com’s Player of November.

The Portuguese winger was the only player to pick up a double MOM award in November, the other four going to Tiago Pinto (Mallorca – 1st leg Copa), Abel Aguilar (Levante), German Lux (Athletic Bilbao) and Pablo Insua (Mallorca – 2nd leg Copa). Bruno also picked up a point in the first Copa clash with Mallorca on November 1st.

Insua, meanwhile, became into the first Fabril’s player that earns a MOM during his debuting game as a starter with the first team. Abel Aguilar claimed the second place in November as he added eight points in the period. But the negative results are the big novelty in the voting process, because there some negative trends and records that are noticed.

First to all the fact that the 50% of the MOM awards were for substitutes (Lux, Tiago Pinto & Insua), then the fact that six different players were deducted a point in the month after receiving negative votes, only four of them in the home clash against Levante UD (Aranzubia, Aythami, Juan Dominguez & Riki), this last stat is a new record since the rcdlc.com Player of the Season Award was created back on the season 2004/05.

Then to notice that, for the first time, there were three straight liga games in which the collective note was one, the lowest allowed in the voting process. All of this just demonstrates that the Peña members are not pleased at all with what they are watching and that has been traduced into poor results.
